NOVPUBSomeone carried away the nurse who had collapsed on the ground, and then Nightingale cleared the room once again, leaving only her and Wu Bin.
Having just experienced a horrifying scene, Wu Bin was still somewhat frightened.
If Nightingale hadn’t appeared in time, he definitely would have been doomed today.
Unable to help himself, Wu Bin asked, "Nightingale, how come you are here? Weren’t you supposed to be on a business trip?"
Since their last parting, Wu Bin could clearly feel that Nightingale had become even busier.
Initially, Nightingale was stationed by the Ninth Bureau to protect him, but Wu Bin could clearly tell that Nightingale and people like Han Biao were different.
Firstly, Nightingale was a Supernatural Being, and secondly, her combat ability was very strong, as could be seen from how she had just killed the nurse in a matter of seconds.
Han Biao was different.
It was clear at first glance that Han Biao was an ordinary person, merely a well-trained soldier.
Handling general emergencies posed no issue for him, but when it came to unusual incidents, Han Biao lacked both the ability and the experience, which had led Wu Bin into dangerous situations time and again.
Nightingale picked up a fruit knife from the bedside, peeled an apple, and said to Wu Bin, "You killed the ’Heart-Eating Ghost’ in the back mountains, didn’t you?"
Wu Bin hadn’t expected Nightingale to suddenly ask about this and he immediately played dumb.
"What Heart-Eating Ghost? I don’t know about that, did you guys kill it?"
Nightingale glanced at Wu Bin and said indifferently, "You might fool Han Biao and the others, they can’t see through it, and even if they do, they wouldn’t say much. But you can’t fool me, as I know whether you are lying or not."
Wu Bin gave an awkward smile.
"Then if you know everything, why ask me? It was just luck, a chance at defense. That counts as self-defense, right?"
Seeing Wu Bin still trying to be funny, Nightingale continued, "You’re something else, able to kill even the Heart-Eating Ghost."
"Initially, we thought you were a logistical type of Supernatural Being, so we didn’t pay much attention to you; we thought it was enough if you could contribute to Dragon Country’s medical research."
"But it seems now we can’t just leave you unattended any longer, because you really have brought us a lot of trouble."
Upon hearing Nightingale speak like this, Wu Bin immediately retorted, "I haven’t, don’t talk nonsense!"
"Nightingale, I’ve always been a law-abiding good citizen, it’s always those wretched things causing me trouble! If you investigated properly, you’d know I’m not lying; when have I ever caused any great trouble for you?"
Although he was a member of the Ninth Bureau, Wu Bin was always worried that they might take him away for dissection and research, so he had always been reserved towards the Ninth Bureau and hadn’t told them everything about himself.
Seeing Nightingale’s changed attitude towards him now, Wu Bin was naturally extremely nervous, even considering whether he should jump out of the window to escape. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Nightingale saw right through the thoughts in Wu Bin’s mind.
"I advise you not to do anything foolish; the area around the hospital is filled with our people, and even if you jump out of the window, you won’t be able to escape."
Wu Bin immediately backed down.
"Nightingale, what are you saying? Why would I jump out of a window all of a sudden? But Nightingale, I really haven’t caused any trouble for you. Han Biao has always been with me, right? He can vouch for me!"
Nightingale took out her phone, unlocked a document, and tossed the phone in front of Wu Bin.
"Have a look for yourself."
Wu Bin took the phone and immediately fell silent.
It was a battle damage report.
The document mentioned six abnormal cases that had occurred in six different locations and provinces of Dragon Country.
Yet, every operation resulted in heavy losses for the Ninth Institute, with many dead.
Initially, Wu Bin thought the things the Ninth Institute investigated were likely unusual beasts or tribes, so casualties were normal.
But when he saw the investigation report in the file, he became unsettled.
The report stated that a person, looking exactly like Wu Bin, was leading other rebellious Supernatural Beings to attack the Ninth Institute.
This person was temporarily referred to as "the Shadow" by the people of the Ninth Institute.
The Shadow was clever and seemed to know all the operations of the Ninth Institute, always setting up ambushes in advance, catching them off guard every time.
This was not even the most troublesome part.
The most troublesome thing was that the Shadow’s abilities were peculiar, and the people of the Ninth Institute simply couldn’t resist.
Firstly, those who got close to the Shadow, their lungs would simultaneously burst open.
Several Supernatural Beings from the Ninth Institute, unaware of the Shadow’s tactics, suffocated and died from their lungs bursting.
Another powerful Supernatural Being clashed with the Shadow.
The Supernatural Being assessed that the Shadow lacked actual combat skills, even saying it was like a college student’s level of fighting.
But bizarrely, when he touched the Shadow, he could distinctly feel his own strength rapidly draining away, leaving him incredibly weakened in an instant.
Because he was unprepared, he let the Shadow escape, and he was also injured.
The more Wu Bin read, the more silent he became.
No wonder Nightingale said that he had brought significant trouble to the Ninth Institute.
"Is this my clone?"
Nightingale nodded.
"Now, your clone has created a rebel organization called the Dark Crow."
"We haven’t yet fully investigated what the purpose of the Dark Crow Organization is, but we know that one of their targets is you."
"The nurse from earlier was sent by the Dark Crow."
Wu Bin’s eyes widened instantly.
"The Dark Crow’s target is me? Why would that be, I shouldn’t have anything on me worth their attention, right?"
Nightingale said indifferently, "Haven’t I told you before? You and the Shadow share life energy. If you die, he can then survive normally in this dimension. Otherwise, both of you will face punishments from the rules."
"As your clone, he has gained all your abilities, and the punishments he faces are even harsher than yours. So killing you, or rather, killing you is the most important thing for him."
"Otherwise, when the heavenly punishment comes one day, no one can save him."
Nightingale indeed had talked about his and the Shadow’s relationship before, but Wu Bin hadn’t taken it seriously.
After all, Wu Bin wasn’t a person with a strong desire to fight, nor did he wish to have a life-and-death struggle with someone.
But now, seeing that the Shadow had actually established the Dark Crow Organization, Wu Bin felt somewhat restless.
What is this kid trying to do? Is he planning to grow big, strong, and spectacularly successful?
After a moment of silence, Wu Bin asked, "So, what do you hope I will do? How should I cooperate with you?"
Nightingale said indifferently, "It’s simple, convert you to a combatant, you come to the front line, and personally arrest the Shadow."
